TIPS AND TRICKS
Feature: Spin up 3, 4 or 5 Coins to trigger 15 free games respectively. During the free games all wins are tripled. The free games can be won during the feature.

• Speed-up trick

On some MKV versions of Adonis, you can't press anything to speed up the free games if you get a win, but if you insert a coin (or a banknote) the win meter goes up by 25 instead of 1, speeding up the free games feature considerably. This happens because the music is replaced with the credit sound, causing the machine to think the music has stopped so it increments the credits faster. If there is a win on the last free game, you can play on without waiting. Some machines may however let you press any button during the free games to add the win directly to the win meter without it counting up.

The music stop trick does not work on MKVI versions; you must wait until 500 credits have passed before the machine will let you press the 'Take Win' button. Like some MKV machines, some MKVI machines may allow you to add wins directly to the win meter during the free games.
